About 'Thorns': 'Thorns' opens with softly strummed acoustic guitar, laying a gentle, intimate foundation for Anika Louise's dulcet voice and confessional lyricism. The first verse introduces the recurring image of thorns and roses, tracing the slow realisation that someone is not who they first seemed. 

As the song unfolds, it begins to open out. Warm electric guitar lines come forward, paired with twanging banjo and subtle piano, all anchored by the steady pulse of the drums. The arrangement swells and softens in turns, making 'Thorns' a powerful yet vulnerable journey that cries out softly and lingers in the heart.
